Lubrication of cables and connections (Ducati Monster 696)

0

Accelerator drive and cold start condition (fuel enricher) should be checked regularly. There should be no marks of punctures or scratches on the plastic sheath of the cables. Twist the crank (move the lever) to check the smooth movement of the cable. If rubbing or snagging is felt, contact your Ducati dealer or authorized service center for replacement.

To avoid problems, periodically lubricate the ends of each cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.

If the accelerator cable is lubricated, open the rotary handle housing by unscrewing the two screws (1, fig. 61). Lubricate the cable end and groove.

Attention! Close the rotary handle housing carefully, keeping the cable in the groove.

Assemble the housing and tighten the screws (1) with a force of 1.8 Nm.

To ensure smooth operation of the side support, remove dirt and lubricate all rubbing parts with SHELL Alvania R3 lubricant.
